1Brady and Nancy paced outside Chloe's hospital room "why did you agree to
let her come make the decision to see Phillip or not?" she asked
accusingly. Brady bit his tongue, counted to 10 and began to speak. "Nancy,
I know that you want to be her mother, but she isn't used to having a
mother" Brady pointed out. "She is used to making her own decisions. and
this is one she should be able to make."
Nancy glared at him" What do you know about being a parent Brady Black?" she huffed. "you dont have any kids." Brady grimaced "No, I don't but Ido have a teenage sister" he reminded Nancy "and I've seen first hand what teenage girls want from their mothers, even ones that have raised them from babyhood." Nancy thought about that for a moment, "well, I guess that is true" she conceded, "But that doesnt mean that is what Chloe wants."
Brady sighed and walked away from Nancy. "That is exactly what Chloe wants" Brady said aggravated "She wants a mommy, but she also wants to keep making her own decisions."
Nancy glared at him "Ok, Mr. expert" she began "what are your feelings with her being in there with Phillip?" Nancy was rewarded when Brady couldn't answer and couldn't take his eyes off the door to the room "not nice Nancy" he scowled. "Well, tell me" she repeated "what are you thinking?"
"That she better damn well tell him to ger a life and out of hers, then get him out of there." Nancy chuckled "What?" Brady asked indignant "I want to know that she is through with him, what's wrong with that?" he asked defensively. "And if she isn't?" Nancy asked "will you forget about her?"
"Never," Brady answered "I'll just have to work harder to convince her." Nancy turned to hide the smile she had in answer to him. Brady she could deal with, Phillip was definitely not the guy she could tolerate. Brady and Chloe paced in silence some more, neither saying much. Craig came around the corner and noticed the two of them. "What is going on with you two?" he asked "both of you are going to wear a hole in the carpet."
"Phillip is in there with Chloe" Brady finally answered "yeah and we agreed to give her time." Nancy spoke up. Craig raised his eyebrows"really?" he glanced at Brady. "And how do you feel?" he asked. "She has to do this Craig," Brady defended "for herself and for anybody else she may date."
Craig grinned "like you?" Brady grinned "That would be good" he agreed.
